First off, thank you for the beautiful idea!<br><br>About how many of the 4oz jars would you say a box of batter would make? I plan on making these for a friend's going-away party in the colors of his new college, but I don't want to end up with too much left-over batter.

wait... can you use like baby food jars?

where can you get canning jars?(:

Cool cupcakes for Memorial Weekend!

FANTASTIC! i love these. way to make a simple treat extraordinary!

Thank you!

I made them too! I added a TON of dye and they came out super bright and pretty!<br><br>The only problem was, I couldn't find glass jars, so I had to make them the traditional way. This was nice, though, because it dyed the white wrapper the colors of the cupcake! Brought them to school and everyone adored them!

These look great. In the past, i have put too much dye in stuff and you can actually taste a bitterness. I will have to retry. How did you fill the center with icing like that?

These look fabulous cvale! Great colour :) Thanks for taking the time to comment and post photos.

to enjoy can you get the cupcakes out or do you have to eats them with a spoon?

Hi Haru,<br><br>Thank you for your comment. Yes, you have to eat it from the jar with a fork or spoon.<br><br>

sweeet making them when i get back on land

So they're Jarcakes then?

I suppose so ...

Beautiful! The glass jars show off the colors so well.

Did you do anything fun with the sliced-off bits of cake top?

My five year old ate them before all of the other kids came home from school. She absolutely had fun :)

Thank you!

Looks excellent thanks .ps: yugezi1991@hotmail.com

Thank you!

Why use the colored frosting in the batter instead of food coloring? What does that do for you?

The icing colours are food-colouring ... I think Wilton markets them for colouring frosting but they can be used to dye other food products. <br><br>HTH

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks!

As the grandsons would say &quot;You ROCK!&quot; <br>And so will I once I make these. <br>Thanks.

Enjoy :)

Did you grease the jars first?

I didn't grease the jars. I thought about it, but seeing as they don't need to come out of the mold easily (using a spoon to scoop and eat), and you want the rainbow effect to be visible with no barrier, I decided not to.<br><br>They didn't stick much at all.

I never knew you could get so many colors. Pretty to look at.

Thank you NaturalCrafter :) I only used five colours but they combine to make even more.

With all this talk of food I made cookies today...lol So many projects, so little time..but its all fun sharing it too.

I've been doing rainbow cupcakes with food coloring for a while now, but putting them in glass jars is both clever and gorgeous! Thanks for the post.

Thank you :)

Looks excellent. is the idea to use a fork or spoon to eat the cup cake?
